Why "Box o'' Clox"?
We''ve received many emails asking, "Why ''Box O'' Clox''? "What does it mean"? Throughout the years we''ve had various names (The Coveyors, The Moodswings, 20/20, etc.) In the late ''90s we felt a change was warranted. I don''t recall how or why the name "Box O'' Clox" came into my head, but I do remember that I was attracted to it for two reasons — (1) it wasn''t preceded by a "The"; and (2) it had a time element. It was spelled as "Clocks" until 2003, when Van Dyke Parks suggested that it be changed to "Clox" . . . to match "Box." (Actually, my wife had come up with the same idea a few months earlier, but it took Van''s unrelated recommendation to convince me to change it). — Cameron Michael Parkes
